How Do You Prepare For A COMPASS Test?
The COMPASS test is a placement assessment created by ACT. Many colleges use the COMPASS test for their placement needs. The test has three sections, Reading, Writing and Math. The test is held to determine if the student meets what the college has determined as college level. If the the student does not meet those requirements, the test may suggest brush up classes (if the the college offers them). The test is computerized, but it is set up so that even computer novices should be able to navigate it with ease. COMPASS is an untimed test. If you are taking the basic package (Reading, Writing and Math) you should expect to put two and half hours aside for the testing. If you are only taking parts of the test , or you are also taking the e-write portion, these times will be different. The untimed format allows you to take your time, and possibly use different test taking strategies a more structured test would not allow. The test is adaptive. That means the test adapts to your skill leve
